Media of all kinds is more concerned with their ratings, what kind of money they can make, and what the "cool" story is, rather than actually doing what they are intended to do - report the news. It's frustrating to watch. During such events as the Anna Nicole Smith death/case, Britney Spears' antics, etc., even the big network news stations get all "celebrity-eyed" and don't report on anything actually worth a viewer's time. I've finally just started reading the newspaper and going online, because at least I can select what I want to view and bypass all the crap. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the occasional Packers story (or in my case, Tampa Bay Bucs) or weather story, but those are not for the mainstream news at 6pm. I am completely with you on this one.
